Abstract:
The article studies irony and ways of its representation in Gunter Grass linguistic and conceptual picture of the world. It also presents a new approach to the research into irony and its mechanisms in literary texts from the cognitive linguistics point of view. This approach gives grounds for studying ironic sense formation in linguistic projections of Gunter Grass literary concepts. Linguistic projections of literary concepts GEDACHTNIS, GLAUBE, ANGST, HUNGER present additional means of conveying ironic modality in Gunter Grass s texts.
